Abstract

Pre-reforming of model jet fuel over supported metal catalysts in a laboratory-scale reforming system was studied. By increasing the amount of metal loading from 1 to 2 wt % for rhodium, a more effective pre-reforming of n-dodecane was achieved at 480°C. The 2% Rh/MgO showed a more stable activity for pre-reforming of the model jet fuel for 10 hr. As compared with commercial Ni supported Al₂O₃ catalyst, supported Rh catalysts showed very high activity and high resistance to deactivation due to carbon formation. The reformates from the current pre-reformer contained little or no higher hydrocarbons, besides significant amount of CH₄, which could be further converted to H₂ and CO by subsequent reforming.
